Flesh
The cheapest flesh in the market is black
(You know it ain't easy, right, man?)
(Right, man? Damn!)
(Check this out!)
The cheapest flesh in the market is black
The cheapest flesh in the market is black
The cheapest flesh in the market is black
The cheapest flesh in the market is black
(Only non-black is worth)
That goes for free to prison
And under the plastic
That goes for free to underemployment
And to psychiatric hospitals
The cheapest flesh in the market is black (tell 'em!)
The cheapest flesh in the market is black
The cheapest flesh in the market is black
The cheapest flesh in the market is black
Who made and makes history
Holding this country on its back, bro
The dude here doesn't feel revolted
Because the gun is already cocked
And the avenger is slow
But very well-intentioned
And this country is turning everyone black
And with straightened hair
But, even so
I still hold the right of some ancestor of color
To subtly fight for respect
To bravely fight for respect
To fight for justice and respect (you better believe it)
Of some ancestor of color
To fight, fight, fight, fight, fight

The cheapest flesh in the market is black
(Boldly, only non-black is worth)
The cheapest flesh in the market is black
The cheapest flesh in the market is black
(Boldly, only non-black is worth)
The cheapest flesh in the market is black
(You know it ain't easy, right, man?)
Black

Black flesh (you better believe it)
